<p>It is indeed a challenge to retain those historic windows, etc. but I think any contractor can remodel it maybe by adding <a href="http://www.weathersafewa.com.au/">blinds</a>, etc. nothing is impossible now.</p>

<p>Hi John,</p>
<p>I don't internet much either.</p>
<p>I install the bottom furring strip in pieces and usually have enough left over from the other 3 sides to piece together the bottom. This is the only time I use that funky PVC wood. I keep the holes small, so I feel like it is OK to leave them open all the time. I haven't had any call backs yet, though sometimes I wonder if it is wise to claim that exterior storms will eliminate interior condensation problems.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for starting this group, my overarching passion is to merge the craftsmanship still intact in many older buildings with technology and building science.</p>

<p>Hi John,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks very much for contributing all this information. It looks like a few of the links were broken when I tried them. In particular, the "Buy AEP -Kit" button is broken on both the Windo-Therm and AEP home pages and I couldn't find any other obvious links that worked. On the other hand, if you Google "Advanced Energy Panels Kit", quite a number of third parties who resell them are listed. Also, the Window-Therm and AEP home pages (one in the same) are either …</p>

<p>There's a company right in Boston that makes a very nice aluminum/low-e glass spring tension interior storm that I've seen a few times, who's name just keeps on eluding me. I need to sift though some paper files to find it (never an exciting prospect), but when I do, I'll post here as well.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks again, John, and hope all is going well by you!</p>

<p>Hi Chris. Thanks very much for added this to the forum. The information and test data they provide seems rather substantial. But I agree with you -- it'd be great to hear from any one else who's installed these or a similar reflective barrier, and had had a chance to observe the results. Agree that it at least sounds good.</p>

<p>Thanks very much Bill, for describing your exterior storm solution (sorry I'd neglected to reply when you first posted this a year ago). Question I have is: Do you drill weep holes in the bottom furring strip supporting the exterior storm? And if so, do you just leave them open or install small plugs and open or close when necessary? Thanks Bill!</p>
